The European Space Agency's Mars Express satellite has been orbiting Mars since around 2003, but it has just stumbled on a rare find that scientists believe is a glimpse into wetter days on the Red Planet. The satellite found evidence that a huge crater on Mars was once a water-filled lake, and ESA said the rare find was revealed by the presence of a delta, which is an ancient fan-shaped deposit of dark sediments, laid down in water.

New York City firefighters exposed to the 9/11 World Trade Center (WTC) disaster are 19 percent more likely to develop cancer than their non-exposed counterparts, according to a recent study that evaluated the health of 9,853 WTC-exposed and non-exposed firefighters over the seven years following 9/11.

Space debris has touched the “tipping point,” as per a report released by the National Research Council, which appealed to NASA to find methods of monitoring in a better manner as well as cleaning up the orbiting junk which could be ominous for active satellites and manned spacecraft.

Paleontologists from the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County and the Chinese Academy of Science discovered a 3.6 million-year-old fossil of a woolly rhinoceros high on the Tibetan Plateau in 2007. Based on the new fossils, they argue that some mega herbivores first evolved in Tibet even before the beginning of the Ice Age.

The Japanese branch of Domino's, which announced opening a new branch on the moon, has made many claims on its Web site dedicated to the new venture. However, when it comes to finding the base for its pizza joint on Earth's only known natural satellite, it has nothing major which can back the announcement as a proper business plan.
